Staff meetings…

I attended the first staff meeting in Gura Humorului. It was like many others I have attended. We all want to be anywhere else. At this first meeting, everyone is catching up with summer happenings. Soon the director arrives, speech in hand, and begins the meeting. We listened to a listing of who has which form class, who is new to the staff, who earned honors in the past year, who had new duties this year – lots of lists. Then Mihaela, the director, invited us to join her in a toast to the coming year in the hall. The national drink is a blueberry liquor served full of blueberries. Can you imagine the phone calls if we did this at home??

I felt right at home as I walked to the bus stop. I am not sure where this student obtained this jacket, but it certainly looks like it came from one of the cross country team.
